How can I not know this? It's usually MrI's job but this time falls to me and apparently it's not an urgent enough question for him to interrupt a meeting to answer.
So, tails facing forwards or tips?

Tails forward, as the tips could catch the wind and vibrate (but twin tips confuse the issue).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Good, that's the way I've done it. Don't have any true twin tips but most 'twinned' set I have don't have bindings on them. I'll be most blue if I lose them en route.
Thank you

Tails forward, and bases up if there's room, keeps the wind resistance down.

albinomountainbadger, If only they'd rotated them 90 degrees they could have used them as a rear wing

You know it makes sense.

The roof wrack is for the children. Keep the skis nice and safe inside the car.

Thornyhill, OH is working so no need to find space for him
mcspreader, I would NEVER put my kids on the roof rack, that's a horrid suggestion. A box however........... *makes mental note to get a roof box*

text reads:
I've been looking for a ski rack (cheap) for my new Evoque. If you know the Evoque, you know we're talking hundreds of dollars. My Evoque is bare on top so, I would be looking at rails, cross rails and a ski rack for the roof top solution. There are some vertical racks available on the internet for around $200, but they all seem to need the vertical bar. I'm not sure whether one of these "boxes" would work with my 15 year old bike rack.
I had the "stock" 1 1/4" receiver installed on my vehicle. I had an old 1 1/4" bike rack. I was thinking of building it up vertically until today when I tried laying my skis horizontally. With the built-in rubber bike straps, they seem to hold my skis very securely. However, I'm going to add a locking strap in case the rubber straps let go.
The bike rack appears to be leaning to the right in the picture. Part of that is caused by the bar not being fully in the receiver and it may be slightly bent also. No big deal either way for me.
Because I'm standing close to the vehicle, the skis appear to be sticking WAY out. However the tips are no further out that my side view mirrors. Optical confusion.
I'll post a further report after my first run in this configuration. However, I'm expecting no problems. My skis are about 6' in length. I'm guessing if I were a snow boarder, this would method would work also. The whole purpose here is to have the rear seats being available. I think I would be only able to handle 2 pairs of alpine skis in this manner, but that's all I would ever be toting so that's no problem. '
This is wonderful - should read 'I've spend a fortune on a car and won't spend a tiny proportion of the purchase price on a safe means of transporting skis...'
Well, should have bought an old Passat or similar and stuck winter tyres on it. or (since they are in the 'States) a Subaru or a Jeep cherokee and then put a proper rack on it.
Final bit....We use a friend's Suzuki jeep when in CH sometimes - It has a vertical rack at the rear, fine until you put Black Crows in it - MUST REMEMBER NOT TO DRIVE INTO GARAGE is then written on a big note on the dashboard - otherwise....aargh
